Meet the Chromebook 14

HP's second Chromebook has the same name as the first. However, it does come with a few new specs, including an Intel Haswell processor and a promised 9.5 hours of battery life. One of the laptop's biggest pluses is that it will only set you back $300, but for the price, you'll sacrifice quality.

Chromium

True to its name, the HP Chromebook 14 is running the Google-built Chromium operating system, which has a basic file system but handles almost all tasks in the Google Chrome browser. That's great if you use many Google services, but those seeking a full-featured operating system will want to pass on this machine.
